samba - Jul 2004 - "Duplicate workgroup names in browse list" problem reappeared in 3.0.5

Starting from version 3.0.2 (or .3?) there were a misfeature that caused
workgroup names to show up as duplicates in workstations' browse lists. Fix
for this didn't reach into 3.0.5-pre1, but rc1 had this fixed.

Today I upgraded 3.0.5-rc1 to 3.0.5-2 (FC2 binary rpm from samba.org) and
the problem reappeared.

To be more spesific, the problem appears when there are more that one
workgroup in the network. In that case each of the workgroups appear as a
correct one, and also as a secondary fake one that contains no computers and
which has a name end-padded with blanks to appr. 15 characters. This problem
was originally discussed here in May, and a patch was releases soon, AFAIK.
Maybe this patch was dropped for some reason (eg. accidentally?) from the
final 3.0.5 although it was there in 3.0.5-rc1?

My best guess would be, per Jerry's note, that what was 3.0.5-rc1 has become
3.0.6-rc1, and what is 3.0.5 is 3.0.4 w/ the one security fix. Thus, if you
didn't see the fix until 3.0.5-rc1, look for it
to be in the 3.0.6xx builds. (Emergency fix was dropped into the current
release, and everything newer than release got bumped out a build number...)

Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.

Check out the announcements on samba.org. 3.0.5 is a security release that
contains only a security fix added to 3.0.4 base. What used to be 3.0.5-rc1
will now be called 3.0.6 and an rc2 will be released shortly.
